I found out that due to the ACA (often given the misnomer "Obamacare"), I have VA medical care for therest of my life. That means the only person to worry about is Steve. I took an look at the Arizona state exchange and it turns out that Blue Cross Gold is only $379/month.

This means I don't have to be an indentured servant to the Army. So right now, I know I'll pass my PT test tomorrow, but I might not pass taping. I am 17 lbs over what the Army says I should be. This means I don't have to care. If I get ejected from the Army for being a fat hog, I still get an honourable discharge. That being said, I will likely pass taping. For my own happiness, I plan to start a different plan of exercise at lunch.

My drive here was comfortable, and went by quickly due to listening to podcasts and Black Library audiodramas.

I went to Proud Mary's jazz club beside my hotel because it was there. I was able to watch the Stanley Cup playoff game between the Habs and Tampa Bay. I couldn't stick around too long; I'd have to order another alcoholic beverage and did not want to. It was 1-1 when I left.

I'm in for the night and comfortable. I see friends after work tomorrow.

Yay for having a permanent benefit from being a part of the Army. I still remember how often you commented that the healthcare benefits were the only reason you were putting up with [fill in the blank].
